At the age of approximately 40 years, women begin to undergo a restructuring of processes in the body. One of its manifestations is a decrease in the production of structural skin proteins (collagen, elastin) and the appearance of deep folds and fine wrinkles.

Skin problems are aggravated by menopausal changes that occur closer to 45 years of age. The slowdown in cell regeneration caused by hormones worsens the complexion and leads to the appearance of age spots.

To maintain an attractive appearance, you need to fight the signs of aging every day. Traditional care includes:

• cosmetics category 40+;
• active masks;
• face massage.

Alcohol and cigarettes are not our friends

Alcohol and nicotine age and negatively affect blood vessels and female internal organs. As a result, blood supply deteriorates, which, in turn, leads to changes in skin tone, thinning, wrinkles, vascular network, swelling and other negative consequences. To avoid this, you need to completely abandon them. For those who have been smoking and drinking for many years, soft drinks and electronic cigarettes will help smooth out the transition period.

At the same time, it is necessary to understand that to maintain attractiveness, giving up bad habits alone will not be enough. To look young, you need to get quality sleep. Sleep should be at least 8 hours. In this case, daytime and nighttime sleep are not summed up. It's only about the night. Rest during the day is more intended for relaxation and cannot compensate for lack of sleep at night.

To rejuvenate the skin, you need to take care of the nervous system. Stress does not leave its mark on your appearance.

Makeup for forty

Makeup is of great importance. 41 years or more is the age when the absence of makeup does not make you look younger. Rather, on the contrary, all the shortcomings become more obvious and conspicuous.

Before going outside, you need to apply at least a minimal layer of makeup. Foundation will help even out skin tone and hide hyperpigmentation. Concealer - will disguise dark circles. Blush will help highlight one part and highlight another.

Proper nutrition after 40, 45 years

Over the past few years, there has been a lot of talk about proper nutrition. Snacks, fast foods, soda, sugar and other products age you and have a bad effect not only on your figure, but also on your skin. If they are abused, it is difficult to stay fit and fresh. The functioning of the sebaceous glands deteriorates, the shade changes, etc.

To maintain beautiful skin, improve the condition of blood vessels and internal organs, the body must regularly receive sufficient quantities of vitamins, minerals and other substances. To do this, the diet includes seasonal fruits and vegetables, protein, cereals and other products. At the same time, it is better to avoid fatty, salty, sweet, smoked foods, preservatives and other harmful foods or limit their consumption as much as possible.

There are a number of secrets that help improve skin condition and stay full of energy for many years:

• Serving size. According to numerous nutritionists, the body needs a portion the size of which does not exceed two human fists. Everything else turns into folds on the sides, deposited on the walls of blood vessels, etc. In addition, to digest large amounts of food, the body expends energy that it could save or use for other purposes. Thus, the withering process is accelerated.
• Number of meals. It is generally accepted that only infants can feed frequently. Actually this is not true. The recommended number of meals for an adult is 4-5 times a day. In this case, the portions should be small, as mentioned earlier. The last meal should be consumed no later than 3 hours before going to bed.
• Avoiding extremes and diets. What sacrifices many people make in pursuit of beauty. At the same time, moderation is necessary in everything. You should not abuse diets, giving up protein, fats or carbohydrates, as this ages the skin. Nutrition should be balanced and nutritious, regardless of the person’s age. In this case, it is not necessary to step on the throat of your principles. Vegans can easily replace meat protein with soy, beans, nuts and other products. The main thing is that the body receives protein in sufficient quantities. The same applies to vitamins and other substances.
• Unloading. Once a week you should give your body a fasting day. This does not mean that you need to completely stop eating and go hungry. This approach is a serious blow to the nervous system. It is much more effective to consume foods with low calorie content. It can be buckwheat, kefir, apples, etc. This low-calorie diet will not harm you and will help you stay healthy.

When planning your diet, take your age into account. After 40, metabolism slows down, so fatty foods cause a feeling of heaviness, fatigue increases, etc.

Speaking about how to maintain youth after 40 years, it should be noted that at this age a woman needs a sufficient amount of Omega 3, 6, 9 fatty acids, some of which are found in fish, nuts and other foods. Others are produced independently by the body. To provide the rest, it is recommended to use special vitamin complexes sold in pharmacies or on the Internet.

Porous skin: specifics of care

Cosmetologists who treat patients with oily, porous skin know how difficult it is sometimes to achieve good results. It is not enough to precisely build a complex algorithm of salon procedures; sometimes you have to make a lot of effort to get the patient to change his view on the basics of home care.

About this and much more - specialists - practitioners with many years of experience, who have studied in detail the features of the “character” of oily skin. Elena Alferova, dermatocosmetologist, head. dermatocosmetology department, Valentina Trofimova, nurse-cosmetologist, Tamara Korchevaya, Ph.D., dermatocosmetologist, director, Center for Medical Cosmetology “Danae”

Features of porous skin

Oily skin with enlarged pores, which causes serious problems in youth, reveals its benefits at a more mature age, as if rewarding the owner for the torment that he endured with it. It ages more slowly and retains a greater reserve of vitality than dry skin. However, in the absence of adequate care, it loses its attractiveness, becomes dull, loose, and porous like a sponge. What we call pores are the openings of the sebaceous glands. The more sebum accumulates in the sebaceous gland duct, the more the mouth stretches. And if you do not properly care for such skin and do not clean it on time, then over the years the outlet openings of the sebaceous ducts expand even more, and multiple small funnels appear on the skin - like on the surface of a thimble.

Oily skin is plagued by three problems, all of them with the prefix “hyper”:

• hyperplasia (enlargement) of sebaceous gland cells.
• hypersecretion (production of large amounts of sebum);
• follicular hyperkeratosis (thickening in the area of ​​the mouths of the sebaceous glands).

The elasticity of collagen fibers decreases with age to one degree or another depending on genetic factors; over the years it becomes increasingly difficult for them to keep the skin toned. Due to the fact that the sebaceous glands are located on the border of the papillary layer of the dermis and epidermis, where collagen and elastin fibers are loosely located, gaping “holes” can form on the skin where the glands come to the surface. This is similar to how the cells of a grid stretch when it is filled. Therefore, neglecting skin care in youth can significantly affect its appearance over time. Ungroomed porous skin, becoming atonic, flabby, can look very untidy with age. With the loss of elasticity, the pores seem to spread wider.

Blame it all on improper care

Unfortunately, at our appointments we see many patients who do not properly care for oily skin. When asking people who turned to us for help, we repeatedly discovered that, having already oily skin, they use fatty creams. This is partly due to television advertising, which encourages our women to use anti-aging creams (as we know, most of them are created with oily bases). On the other hand, many people make the choice in favor of a rich cream based on their subjective feelings. When you ask patients why they use a rich cream, they answer something like this: “I probably have dry skin, because it peels, sometimes there is a feeling of tightness.”

What causes these uncomfortable sensations? The fact is that those with oily skin often “care” for it too aggressively: they wash it with hot water and soap, wipe it with alcohol and non-alcohol, but too active lotions, which dry out the skin greatly. Because of this, the surface hydrolipid film is destroyed, which normally maintains skin hydration, that is, prevents transepidermal water loss. As a result, the skin becomes dehydrated, redness, irritation and a feeling of tightness appear. Hot water and soap will indeed wash away the fat for a while, and the skin will be “drier” for a few hours, but then the sebaceous glands will react with a more significant release of sebum: the more the skin is degreased, the more actively it produces sebum. In addition, hot water itself expands the pores even more. Therefore, you should wash your face with warm water, and finish washing with cool or completely cold water.

People with oily, porous skin often overuse scrubs. Many people use them almost every day, damaging their skin. Usually, when a new patient comes to us with problematic oily skin, the first thing we do is forbid him to even think about homemade scrubs. After the skin has been restored, when it is possible to restore good moisture to it and relieve inflammation, we begin to work with the stratum corneum using professional peelings and preparations, using active but at the same time gentle techniques. In the future, when the skin condition improves and stabilizes, you can return to very mild homemade scrubs, but use them no more than once a week (in some cases, 2 times a week is acceptable).

In general, care for oily skin, both in the salon and at home, should be aimed at reducing the thickness of the stratum corneum, reducing the secretion of the sebaceous glands and optimizing the release of sebum to the surface. Let's take a closer look at what it consists of.

Salon treatments for porous skin

Peels. As we have already said, oily skin has a thicker layer of keratinized epithelium, which thickens even more with age, when the rejection of its particles slows down. Therefore, such skin especially needs peelings (mechanical, chemical, enzyme) and special products that promote proper and timely exfoliation of dead cells.

For porous skin, superficial peels based on glycolic, lactic, mandelic acids, and combinations of acids are recommended. They are recommended to be carried out in a course of 3-4 procedures once a week, followed by 2 procedures every 3 weeks, and then preventive peelings once a month.

The use of some superficial peels is quite possible even in summer; Moreover, in the summer season, when the skin becomes oilier, these peels slightly dry it out, neutralize the secretion of large amounts of sebum, and slightly “cover” enlarged pores.

In winter, due to unfavorable conditions (frequent temperature changes, dry indoor air), the skin often loses its hydrolipid protection, becomes less oily and even a little dry and more sensitive. In this case, even ordinary superficial peeling with fruit acids may be too aggressive for her, and then she has to choose another peeling, more gentle. For example, enzymatic.

In addition to professional peelings, the problem of hyperkeratosis is also solved by modern preparations for home use, containing a small concentration of salicylic acid (this is a classic keratolytic that loosens the superficial horny scales, reduces the thickness of the stratum corneum, freeing clogged pores).

Moisturizing procedures. Oily skin has an increased tendency to lose water, so it especially needs increased hydration. Hydration allows you to improve metabolic processes in the skin, since all biochemical reactions occurring in it require the presence of a sufficient amount of water.

In the salon, various masks (alginate, with hyaluronic acid, etc.) can be used for moisturizing. It is equally important to choose the right moisturizing products for the patient for home care. They should be from a line of professional or pharmacy brand cosmetics and be suitable specifically for his skin type. After we have nourished the skin with moisture, it needs to be “dressed”, covered with a thin protective film that will prevent transepidermal water loss (excessive loss of moisture from the surface of the skin). There are special protective protective creams for this purpose. Their use is especially important in windy weather and during prolonged stays in dry rooms. With good hydration, even the porous, textured pattern of the skin will not be so noticeable. Well-groomed, moisture-saturated skin is transformed: usually dull, it smoothes out, as if stretched, and acquires a healthy glow. At the same time, the mouths of the sebaceous ducts (pores) are no longer so contoured.

Speaking about skin hydration, I would like to touch on another aspect. Our skin is a hormone-dependent organ, and the degree of its hydration largely depends on the level of estrogen in the blood. For example, in the second phase of pregnancy, the skin looks simply great precisely due to the good estrogen saturation of the body. When ovarian activity fades (when the cycle becomes irregular, with unclear ovulation, a shortened second phase, scanty menstruation), estrogen production decreases, which is immediately manifested by dehydration of the skin. In this case, you can offer the woman a mild non-hormonal correction of the ovulatory cycle using a diet that includes foods with phytoestrogens, as well as prescribe medications with extracts of grape seed, kiwi, wild yam, etc., which also have estrogen-like properties. That is why in our center dermatologists are assisted by a nutritionist who, using the selection of certain foods, vitamins and herbal remedies, carries out non-hormonal cycle correction in our patients.

Cleansing is a mandatory procedure for oily skin, and it must be done literally from adolescence. Otherwise, the pores become clogged, sebum stagnates and expands the openings of the sebaceous glands. Stagnant lard turns rancid, and the skin even begins to smell bad. It may not be felt from a distance, but the cosmetologist notices it clearly when he bends over the patient’s face during cleaning.

With the advent of hardware cleaning techniques (ultrasonic, vacuum, etc.), cosmetologists began to abandon manual (mechanical) cleaning. She is often scolded completely undeservedly, considered too rude. The method was discredited partly due to the fact that not everyone knows how to professionally perform this procedure. In our opinion, for oily, heavy, thick skin clogged with comedones, manual cleansing, on the contrary, is indicated, since only they can effectively evacuate the contents of deep pores. The problem is that very often they are started prematurely, when the skin is not yet ready. Also, cosmetologists sometimes shorten the cleaning protocol. According to the rules, after manual cleansing, you can do a special therapeutic massage that will soothe the skin, and it is recommended to finish the procedure with a soothing pigment-constricting mask.

The cleaning schedule is determined individually. On average, mechanical, “general” skin cleansing is indicated once every 3-4 months, between them you can limit yourself to so-called atraumatic cleansing, which does not require squeezing out comedones.

Properly performed mechanical cleaning is comparable to performing an aerobatics maneuver. To do this, you need to find the micro-hole of the follicle. Since many sebaceous ducts are located at an angle, this is not at all easy to do. Sometimes the sebaceous secretion is hidden so deeply that it is impossible to immediately start with manual cleaning. You must first prepare the skin, pull the contents of the sebaceous glands to the surface, and remove elements of microinflammation. The skill of a specialist who performs cleaning lies in the fact that he knows how to approach this or that skin, what type of cleaning to use: with steaming, heating, squeezing or without them.

If the skin is inflamed, cleansing is postponed for 2-3 weeks until the active phase of inflammation subsides. At this time, cryomassage with liquid nitrogen is prescribed, which has a tightening, drying, cauterizing effect, as well as special soothing masks that resolve foci of inflammation. For home care, lotions with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects are also prescribed, which at first may even contain a small alcohol content. However, there is no particular need for this, because many very good drugs have already appeared that allow us to treat patients without cosmetics with alcohol components.

Massage and hardware techniques

For porous skin, a special therapeutic massage is recommended, which uses a lot of pinching movements. This massage will help remove sebum from the ducts; It is advisable to do it between cleanings. If it is performed regularly, the pores will become noticeably smaller.

With severe oily skin with enlarged pores, especially with age, peripheral microcirculation very often deteriorates. To cope with this problem, it is necessary to prescribe massage (plastic, metabolic, etc., which do not need to be done with massage cream). First, a course of 8-10 procedures 2 times a week (once a year); after 40 years - maintenance procedures once a month; after 45-50 years, maintenance procedures are carried out every week. Manual massage affects all layers of the skin: dermis, subcutaneous fat, blood vessels and muscles. It has a drainage effect, improves blood flow, and promotes cell renewal.

Hardware techniques can also be used to improve drainage. Pneumophototherapy, which combines two effects: vacuum massage and phototherapy, has proven itself very well in this case. With the help of a vacuum, the sebaceous secretion of the glands is pulled to the surface, which facilitates its evacuation. In turn, phototherapeutic effects provide an antibacterial, sebostatic effect. This technique gives very good results for seborrhea-prone skin with enlarged pores. After pneumophototherapy, the skin looks very beautiful and well-groomed. Redness caused by stagnation and impaired microcirculation disappears, the skin is evened out in color, tightened, and fresher before the eyes.

The secretion of the sebaceous glands consists of fatty acids, cholesterol, high-molecular alcohols, and contains small amounts of vitamins, hormones, salts and bactericidal substances, etc. Recently, publications have begun to appear in the literature that the sebaceous glands, along with sweat glands, are excreted from the body a fairly large amount of toxins and breakdown products. That is why we always advise our patients, especially those with oily skin, to undergo a gastrointestinal tract examination. The skin will never be beautiful if there are any problems with the digestive tract (if it does not cope with its job, additional toxins are released through the skin).

The success of treating oily, porous skin depends not only on salon procedures. It largely depends on proper home care, which the patient must be taught.

Oily skin care

As we have already said, one of the problems of oily, porous skin is hyperkeratosis. To reduce the thickness of the stratum corneum and remove dead cells from the surface, it is recommended to make masks at home from acidic products: kefir or low-fat cottage cheese, which can be alternated with masks from sorrel, strawberries, strawberries, red and black currants. It is very good to apply lemon juice and sauerkraut to your face (it is important to ensure that the juice does not dry out on your face, otherwise creases will form. Rinse your face with cold water after 5-7 minutes). All of these products contain fruit acids that have a slight exfoliating effect, in addition, they remove excess sebum. Such masks can be applied very often, almost daily, or in courses: do them every day for a week, then take a break. Next, use maintenance masks 1-2 times a week. Creams containing salicylic or glycolic acid can also be used to exfoliate the stratum corneum.

For oily skin types, it is also recommended to rinse your face with infusions of hops, wormwood, and St. John's wort. You can freeze the herbal infusion and wipe your face with ice cubes. These plants have an astringent effect. They tighten the pores a little, reduce the secretion of sebum, and the less sebum, the narrower the pores.

Regular care of porous skin, first of all, should be aimed at moderately cleansing it of oil (not “to the point of squeaking”!). Cleansing must be done 2 times a day - morning and evening. In the morning, the face is wiped with a special cleansing lotion; in the evening, a washing gel is used that has a chemical effect on fatty acids - in order to loosen them, rinse them and remove them from the face. Cleansing for oily skin always ends with cold water, since cold tightens pores.

To prevent clogged pores, you should not “fry” your face in the sun for a long time. The sun makes the lard thicker, so sebaceous plugs form more easily. Because of this, by the way, it is in the fall that there is often an increased outbreak of acne.

For skin with hypersecretion of the sebaceous glands, it is also important to use sebostatic drugs that will dry out the skin. For example, preparations with sulfur. The use of moisturizers and products aimed at preventing transepidermal water loss is also one of the important components of home care for skin with enlarged pores.

We have already said above that scrubs for oily skin should be very delicate (gommage-type scrubs are often prescribed). They are used no more than once a week, in exceptional cases - twice a week.

Unfortunately, if the pores are enlarged, they can no longer be completely narrowed either by deep peelings or dermabrasion. Although there will, of course, be an effect of smoothing the skin and reducing pore contouring. Therefore, the second task remains to camouflage the pores, which, although reduced with the help of professional care, still remain somewhat enlarged. I would like to note in this regard that now many lines of cosmetics have creams and cream powders, dry powders with reflective particles that create an optical effect of smoothing the skin. Many women do not use them for fear of clogging their pores, but in vain: these products are specially created for oily skin and do not have a comedogenic effect. Thanks to their use, not only enlarged pores, but also wrinkles become less noticeable, and the skin, reflecting the rays falling on it, seems to acquire an internal glow.

Since we are talking about makeup techniques, I would like to tell you about one more observation. In their youth, almost all owners of oily skin actively try to degrease it, fighting oiliness. Over the years, this habit of removing oily shine remains: women heavily powder themselves, trying to make their skin matte, while moderate shine not only does not spoil “age” skin, but also beautifies it.

It makes it more “alive” and hides small wrinkles.

We cannot change the type of skin determined genetically, we cannot significantly reduce the amount of sebum produced, but we can improve the characteristics and appearance of the skin, making it healthier.

With careful and adequate care, you can achieve good results. A thing of the past, greasy and “heavy” skin will become more delicate, remaining fresh and matte throughout the day. However, in order to avoid disappointment, you should not reassure patients with quick results. The effect will increase gradually and will take many months to achieve, and only if proper care becomes a daily habit.

Oily skin has an increased tendency to lose water, so it especially needs increased hydration. In the salon, various masks can be used for this (alginate, with hyaluronic acid, etc.).

Drinking regime

To increase the elasticity of the epidermis, prolong youth and beauty, and prevent age-related changes, it is important that the skin and all other organs in general receive a sufficient amount of water. We are talking about ordinary still water. You need to drink 2-2.5 liters per day.

The first glass should be drunk in the morning on an empty stomach. The water should be warm. Additionally, you can add a few drops of lemon juice to it. This will allow the body to wake up and start the work of the gastrointestinal tract.

You should also drink at least 1 glass of liquid 30 minutes before your main meal. This will help deceive the body, temporarily dull the feeling of hunger and prevent overeating, since the liquid will take up space in the stomach.

During sports, a person should constantly drink purified water. Thus, metabolism improves, fat cells are quickly destroyed and removed from the body.

In summer, the amount of fluid you drink should be increased by at least 30%. The body actively sweats. Water will help avoid dehydration and keep your skin supple.

How skin condition changes at 40

Statistics talk about total rejuvenation and increasing life expectancy of the population.
Nature has its own opinion. The peak of beauty occurs before the age of 30. The body does an excellent job of maintaining the necessary balance. Later he needs help, and it needs to be provided very carefully and correctly. First of all, you have to fight the decrease in collagen production. Changes in skin condition occur against the background of hormonal changes. Menopause is already approaching, adding many problems that also affect appearance. The skin becomes drier and more vulnerable, regeneration slows down, and nutrient absorption slows down. All of the above points force you to select a new skin care complex that meets the body’s changing requirements, and here it is worth listening to the advice of cosmetologists.

We are friends with sports

In order to saturate the blood with oxygen, improve blood circulation and the general condition of the body, and become strong and fit, a middle-aged woman should exercise regularly.

Those who do not have the time or financial opportunity to visit the gym can take walks in the fresh air, perform basic exercises at home, etc. To do this, there is no need to purchase expensive equipment and devices. The step platform can be replaced with a low chair, dumbbells with water bottles, a barbell with a child, who will certainly be happy to play such a game, while the mother will strengthen the muscles and avoid their sagging.

Fat is deposited not only on the sides and other parts of the body. It envelops the heart, preventing it from fully performing its functions. The same applies to the liver and other internal organs whose activity is impaired. Also, fat cells negatively affect the blood formula and clog blood vessels. They can cause a heart attack or stroke.

The absence of excess fat deposits promotes health and rejuvenation.

It is necessary to understand that excess weight is a burden on the entire female body. Various functions and systems are affected, including the spine. As a result, it becomes distorted and, as a consequence, organs are displaced. This leads to subsequent disruption in their work. It is much healthier to do exercises every day than to see an aging reflection in the mirror.

How to support cheekbones and cheeks

In addition to moisturizing and toning products, gymnastics is effective for maintaining and creating a beautiful oval face:

• mouth full: puff out your cheeks as much as possible, hold the air for 7-10 seconds and exhale sharply (repeat 7-10 times);

• lollipop: draw air into the cheek space, and then move it to the other cheek like candy. “Roll” the air for 1 minute;
• drawing: prepare a landscape sheet and a subject for drawing. Hold a pencil or pen between your lips and, making circular movements with your head, draw something on the sheet.

Massage helps improve blood microcirculation and warm up facial muscles: apply 2 tsp on face. honey and spread over the skin. Perform the massage with light tapping with your fingers until slight redness appears. After the procedure, rinse off the honey with warm water and apply the cream to your face. Carrying out the procedure daily.

A cold massage tones the skin: pour the chamomile decoction into ice molds and freeze . Rub the prepared cube onto your face until it completely melts. No washing is required; just pat your skin dry with a towel.

Skin care after 40

Special exercises for the facial muscles and massage help to maintain the epidermis in good condition and eliminate small expression wrinkles.

The exercises can be done independently at home. To carry out a massage, you should seek help from a beauty salon, whose master is familiar with all the intricacies of the procedure.

It is recommended to do the exercises while sitting in front of a mirror. This will help you avoid mistakes and monitor the correct execution. The muscles should be tensed as much as possible. There is no need to rush for this. As a result of a high-quality session, a tingling and slight burning sensation occurs in the muscles. This is a normal phenomenon and indicates the effectiveness of the exercises.

They begin from top to bottom, that is, from the area between the eyebrows, gradually descending to the chin.

There are many face-building techniques invented by various specialists. They are all equally effective. To choose the most suitable one for yourself, you should try at least 2-3 different ones and eventually settle on one.

Carrying out such charging does not take much time. It can be done while working at the computer, preparing food, or taking a walk. True, in the latter option there is a risk of disapproving glances from other pedestrians.

You can learn more about the techniques by watching the video:

When can you not do without the help of specialists?

Home care does not require huge amounts of money and time, but achieving a good result is not always possible for the following reasons:

• incorrect selection of cosmetic products or procedures: a cosmetologist can determine the degree and depth of wrinkles, the skin’s predisposition to certain processes. Acne, cracks and dry skin that cannot be treated at home are a reason to visit a salon;
• hormonal disorders: selection of drugs by a gynecologist solves the problem of hormone imbalance, and the aging process will slow down, the skin will recover faster;
• chronic diseases: The skin is a mirror of the body, reflecting its condition. Treatment of diseases by specialized specialists will prolong not only the youth of the skin, but also the years.

A common reason for visiting a cosmetologist is the ineffectiveness of home procedures.

The salon offers the following rejuvenating procedures:

• Laser: removal of the upper layer of the epidermis with the launch of skin regenerative processes;
• Mesotherapy: injections of cell renewal stimulators, 1 procedure per year is recommended;
• RF lifting: radio wave heating of the deep layers of the dermis to tighten the skin.

Salon procedures effectively rejuvenate the skin in record time, provide the skin with professional care and prevent premature aging.

Beauty care

After 40 and 45, the skin additionally needs high-quality daily care. This will help her stay elastic for many years. Beauty treatments include cleansing, moisturizing, nutrition. For this, various anti-aging agents are used. Mesotherapy, hyaluronic acid, Botox injections and other manipulations also have a positive effect on the skin and appearance in general.

The market for cosmetic anti-aging products is replete with various products. The assortment involuntarily makes your eyes widen. However, not all anti-aging compounds can actually bring benefits. A number of them do not perform any functions. At the same time, they can become a source of allergies and other skin reactions.

When choosing, you should pay attention to the manufacturer of anti-aging products. Preference is given to products manufactured by well-known manufacturers who have gained a good reputation in the market.

When discussing the problem of how to prolong youth after 40, we must not forget about the composition of cosmetic products. It is important that the product contains certain substances:

• Proteins and amino acids. Preference is given to substances of plant origin. The components help stimulate regeneration processes and accelerate the production of your own collagen and elastin. As a result, turgor increases.
• Vitamins A, E, C. The ingredients have antioxidant and anti-aging effects. A number of substances fill the folds of wrinkles, making them less noticeable and promoting rejuvenation.
• Peptides. The components penetrate into the deep layers of the epidermis, triggering metabolic processes in cells.
• Hyaluronic acid. The substance prevents moisture loss from cells and stimulates collagen production, improving tone and elasticity.
• Mucin. This is snail mucus, which has a powerful anti-aging effect. When used, facial wrinkles are smoothed out, skin hydration improves, and elasticity increases. Mucus is often used for rejuvenation.

If there are no vitamins in the composition, you can add them yourself to the cream or any other care product. For this, vitamins in capsules are used, for example, Aevit. The liquid is added to a small amount of the product and then applied to the face 30 minutes before bedtime. It can also be used in its pure form.

Massage, nutrition, lifestyle

To achieve maximum effect from cosmetics, use them in combination with a simple massage. Apply a special massage product (for example, sculpting oil concentrate) and perform the procedure with massage movements. Start from the nose and gradually move along the face to the temporal area. Next, you can work on the skin from the chin to the earlobes, from the lips to the ears, from the forehead to the temples, from the eyebrows to the hairline. It is better not to massage the area around the eyes so as not to injure the thin skin. Also, don’t forget about your neck and décolleté - massage this area with light movements, moving from bottom to top.

Remember the need for good sleep. The time from 23:00 to 2:00 is the most important for beautiful skin. The regeneration process is as active as possible during this period - use it to preserve the beauty of your skin and try to fall asleep before midnight.

Also, don't forget to watch your diet. The daily diet must have a balanced combination of proteins, fats and carbohydrates, and must also contain vitamins and microelements. Maintain hydration and drink enough clean water at the rate of 30 ml per kilogram of weight.

Nail and hair care

A young lady needs to take care of her nail plate and curls, which need nutrition and hydration. The fairer sex should take nail baths regularly. For this, herbs, paraffin and other components are used. To improve the condition of the plate, special cosmetics are used, which are rubbed into the surface every day before bed.

It is advisable to do manicure 3-4 times a month. It can be traditional or hardware based. The choice depends on individual preferences. It is better to refuse extensions.

Hair masks must be used after each wash. You can purchase professional products or prepare them yourself based on the products in your home refrigerator. There are a lot of similar recipes. Also, almost every young lady has her own secrets for making cosmetics.

The roots of the curls should be well dyed. You should cover your gray hair and wash your hair regularly to keep your hair looking beautiful and well-groomed.

To make the strands look healthy and create the appearance of additional volume, various techniques and techniques are used. In this case, it is better to seek help from a professional.

Daily care for colored curls should include the use of oils applied to lifeless ends.

Additionally, you can use ampoules for restoration and against hair loss.

In order to improve blood circulation, stimulate the growth of new hairs and improve the overall condition of the hair, you can massage your head daily.

Clothes after 40 – early to get bored!

It is important to try to review your wardrobe. Jeans, shorts and other items are comfortable. However, middle-aged young ladies in such outfits look strange, ugly and even ridiculous; such items are not able to rejuvenate a person. The same can be said about overly colorful products. Changing your wardrobe does not mean that you need to wear gray, shapeless clothes. You can easily choose outfits that highlight your figure and distract attention from flaws.

In this case, preference is given to:

• maxi or classic length skirts;
• loose-fitting trousers;
• dresses;
• stylish blouses;
• fitted jackets.

40 years is less than half of your life. Upon reaching it, the woman is not yet old, but no longer young. Children have grown up, education has been received, reputation and weight in society have been acquired - it’s time to take time for yourself and rejuvenate your body and skin.

Positive emotions, new impressions and places are what a young woman needs after forty and forty-five years. Traveling, communicating with smart, interesting people charge you with energy, give you strength for new achievements and help prolong your life in general. The main thing is to create all the conditions for this, and it doesn’t matter how many years are indicated in the passport.

Makeup and clothes in the same color scheme

Monochrome style is not a new phenomenon and is quite popular. But the fact is that creating a decent image within just one color scheme is very difficult. In some cases, this technique mercilessly ages. Especially when a woman chooses shades that are too dark or ones that don’t suit her at all.

To avoid accidentally making yourself look old, dilute a monochromatic look with bright accessories (a belt, for example) or shoes. It is advisable that the color scheme of the makeup does not match the chosen clothing. Let it become an interesting accent in the image, giving it dynamics.
